If you plan to travel a lot by train in UK and you are a student or under 26 you can buy a young person railway card. This card will give you 1/3 off any train ticket. You will need a picture and about £ 18 for the card and you don't need to be english citizen. You can apply for the card on most train stations. The card also lasts for a year.
I used this tour company for several tours such as Stonehenge, Bath, and Windsor Castle. They pick you up at convienient locations, have clean busses, and impeccable guides. I have been impressed with their standard of service and consider them to be a "Best Value" for tourists in the UK. It may not be cheap but you get what you pay for!reservations@evanevanstours.co.uk258 Vauxhall Bridge RoadVictoria, London SW1 1BS
England's main airports are usually an ugly bunch of buildings. London Stansted is one of the exceptions. It was designed by the Manchester-born architect, Sir Norman Foster, who is now well-known for his re-design of the Berlin Reichstag and the London's Swiss Re 'Gherkin'. The airport was completed in 1991.The building is a steel-frame structure with simple repetitions of tree-like modules. It is airy and light, very pleasant space to inhabit. I guess the idea was to make the airport an extension of the surrounding countryside, architecturally-speaking, of course. As inevitably happens, the simple space is somewhat cluttered with checking-in booths, shops and partitions.Stansted is the departure point for several of the new cut-price airlines and their flights to mainland Europe.To call it a 'London' airport is a slight distortion of the truth. It is a good 45 minute train ride from...
Flying to/from England is the cheapest and fastest way to travel. Plenty of airlines competing from different airports will take you sometime for ridicules price from one place to another. Sometimes to fly to England can cost cheaper then to take the local train in Finland between the big cities.
Of course we have the image of the black taxi in England, but that is common in London, in other places they are different. Taxi in England is not that expensive, of course it is not cheap, but in certain case it is sure affordable and good service.
British rail is one of the biggest and developed in the world, however, I am not sure how efficient it is, I used it only couple of times and so far, beside the high prices it has been all right for me.
IThe best wa to see the London sights is to join the Red Bus Tour which costs £15 and can be used for 24 hours getting on and off when ever you like. There are 90 stops. This also includes the river trip which lasts 50minutes. There is also a quide on the boat too with lots of information. You can also book a walking guide which is very good. Call in at the information of details. We picked up information at the train statiion.
National Express coaches are one of the main budget options to travelling around the UK. Some fares area as low as one pound, whilst they often have promos offering no trip for more than about 10 pounds. One of the downsides of coach travel has been the high probability that a 'complete nutter' will accompany for your entire journey.National express have now solved thus one by allowing you to buy the next seat to you at a reduced price. The extra legroom will no doubt be a bonus, but you will feel a complete prat when the Swedish exchange student in the tartan miniskirt fails to ask if the seat next to you is taken, because you reserved it. oops.
Luton airport, when it was plain (or is it plane ?) Luton airport was run by the local council and happily ferried people to their two week annual packaged holiday on the Spanish costas.It's only claim to fame was that it was the rather surreal catchphrase of Lorraine Chase who would answer any sophisticated question with the immortal words 'nahh Luton airport"Much better communication than there used to be into London and to Birmingham and Milton Keynes (if some God-forsaken reason you need to go there). You have to get a bus to Luton Parkway Station to pick up the train to London, which arrives at King's Cross Thameslink.
From Sourbugger's Nottingham page :East Midlands airport was supposed to be the regional airport for Nottingham, Leicester and Derby. After some argument it was recently re-named Nottingham East Midlands Airport despite the fact there is already (very small) Nottingham airport. It also ignores the fact the airport is actually in Leicestershire, and the nearest city is actually Derby.Apparantly foreign visitors had trouble recognising the existence of 'East Midlands' but found 'Nottingham' much easier to place.With the growth of low-cost airlines such as Easyjet and BMIbaby it is now quite a busy place. Gone are the days when Jasper Carrot could reasonably describe East Midlands Airport as the only airport he knew 'With a cattle Grid on the runway'.Despite all the development transport links are still not great. The 'Rainbow 5' bus into Nottingham from the aiport is certainly cheap - but...
